If it were me I would either vote for a third party or leave that space on the ballot blank, but the voters Rosie's talking about are people who voted in a primary but not in the general election so they already exercised their right to vote. If they're sitting out a general election for that reason then they're basically peacefully protesting. I wouldn't do it that way but I don't have a problem with people who choose that.
Rosie's question doesn't address how highly informed the voters are that she's asking about so it wasn't something I was thinking about when I answered this question. I don't think a truly uninformed voter has a one-in-two chance of making an intelligent decision. It's more like they're incapable of making an intelligent decision in the first place if they go to vote.
Personally, I don't have much admiration or esteem who look at rights as a way to avoid responsibilities rather than to undertake and exercise them.
If one doesn't get what one prefers, why give away everything to the enemy as a means of "protesting?"---If one is not part of the solution, then by default one is part of the problem.
Gee. Where is all this coming from? More Anti-Bernie smears?
I'd vote for anyone. ANYONE other than trump (except Bloomberg). Bloomberg has always been a republican and he is no better or worse than that fat, lying pig some call "President"

The objective is to defeat Trump. To do that, the Democrats need to nominate a reasonable candidate who can be elected, like Bloomberg or Biden, not one who is guaranteed to lose, like Sanders.
Bloomberg will never be elected and I will not vote for him. He is not viable and like me, many aren't blinded and wooed by his attempts to buy the election. In the recent debate, he admitted that be bought 20 congressman.
Reminds me of a time when I was at a restaurant when an older woman was told by the waiter that they had run out of the vegetable that was to be served with the evening special dinner---
Her reaction?---Well, then I just won't eat anything" (she said indignantly, and then sat there while the other 3 people at the table enjoyed the dinners they ordered).
Of course, if one thinks that principles are just fluff, one might consider her reactions to be "spot on."

That too tom. That too. I'm going to ask a question about ripples. If it appeals to you maybe you might respond to it. Thank you for your reply and Happy Friday! :)
